Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate or quiche pan. Trim edges, leaving a little overhang, about 1/4-inch all around the edge. Prick dough with a fork. Line with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake quiche crust for 10 minutes at 375°.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, thyme, and pepper. Pour into the baked crust. Crumble bacon over the top with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake at 375° for about 30 minutes, or until quiche filling is set and lightly browned. Serve quiche with fresh tomato wedges.
Quiche serves 8.
This sounds pretty good.

I find this the easiest:
1 pie crust; make your own or buy one
1 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs
beat together with a whisk (or a mixer if you want)
in the bottom of the piecrust add whatever you like of the following:
cooked, crumbled bacon about 1/2 cup
1 cup shredded cheese; almost any kind works, I like cheddar, parmesan or swiss
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup shrimp
1/2 cup chopped ham
Add the milk and egg mixture
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
I have made this often, it's always great.
